Southern Oregon’s Doctor Shortage Is a Structural Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Southern Oregon does not just need more doctors. It needs a structural response to a provider shortage that has been building for years. In this first episode of a three-part Reimagine Healthcare series, Noah Volz examines the healthcare provider shortage in Jackson and Josephine counties — not as an abstract workforce issue, but as a compounding regional crisis affecting patients, employers, hospitals, clinics, and the long-term health of the community. Jackson and Josephine counties are federa
The Illusion of Value-Based Care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Value-based care was supposed to fix one of the biggest problems in American healthcare: the system gets paid for activity, not necessarily outcomes. Instead of rewarding more visits, more tests, and more procedures, value-based care promised to reward better results: healthier patients, fewer complications, better coordination, and less unnecessary care.

Healthcare often gives patients the opposite: no real price upfront, limited provider choice, urgent decis
Why Good Doctors Get Trapped in Bad Systems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does medicine sometimes stay stuck on outdated ideas, even when better evidence is available? In this final episode of the Blind Spots in Medicine series, Noah Volz looks beneath the individual examples — appendicitis, peanut allergy, antibiotics, and the microbiome — and asks a deeper question: How are doctors trained to think? This episode explores how medical education can reward memorization, hierarchy, speed, and the performance of certainty, while leaving too little room for curiosity,
